"... A delightful book.... The very thing to put into the hands of any youth who thinks that he would like to go to sea."—World.
"... All is so simply told, with such an unmistakable stamp of reality in every word, that readers will close the book with a sort of strange impression that they have been actual sharers in the scenes described."—Guardian.
SIX-SHILLING NOVELS.
THE HATANEE. Arthur Eggar.
BEAUJEU. H.C. Bailey.
"The historical romance, which has long been threatened with decay, seems as lively as ever since its resuscitation by Stevenson. Mr. Bailey is one of the foremost exponents, and this new work is quite his best. 'Beaujeu' is thoroughly to be commended to admirers of romance. There is no contemporary writer who could have done better than this, and there are few who could have done so well.... A work full of vigour and fire, deft invention, and knowledge of the time, and it has a real live interest, not merely a perfunctory one."—Athenæum.
THE HILL. Horace A. Vachell.
"The best book about schoolboys since 'Tom Brown.'"—Daily News.
"The work of a courageous writer and a masterly."—Vanity Fair.
BROTHERS. Horace A. Vachell.
"A novel that should not be missed."—Daily Telegraph.
